| Date | 16:49:13, July 06, 2016 CET | From | The Conservative Party | To | Debating the Government Downsizing |
| Message | The Conservative party sees the merit in giving citizens more freedom and will happily support articles 2 through 5. We reluctantly accept the first article in order to compromise with other parties, so long as the qualifying exam is adequately stringent. |
| Date | 17:00:13, July 06, 2016 CET | From | The Englehart Party | To | Debating the Government Downsizing |
| Message | The Englehart Party recognizes the effort to bring citizens more freedom, and appreciates it. The Engleharts will accept the first article regarding a citizenship exam as long as they are at a level where immigrants have a fair chance at passing and a fair chance at failing, and as long as those with mental or visual disabilities are given some form of assistance. All other articles are fair and will be supported by the Engleharts. |
